    Well it's a couple of weeks old so hey give us time haha.

    That's a fair comment but I never said I was listing the 'best' in the world just that I was making a list. If they were going to come onto our domain I'd like to give them context and keep in mind in the original list I think we were about 4th with Snapzu ahead of us. You have to realise that this list was created in response to a text post in /r/redditalternativies and the blog was used in a convenient fashion to get past the 10,000 character limit. Due to the size of the subreddit I didn't expect it to go past a circulation of a few hundred. Maybe a thousand at a pinch.

    However as the medium one was picked up and was spammed by vengeful people who aren't a fan of Reddit's new policies (because there's no other list or resource readily to hand that list sites in such a fashion) it saw widespread circulation.

    We're not your competitor, and nor would I like us to be, as I don't see a reason why most of these sites can't coexist and achieve what they're setting out to do.

    In response to your rebuttal though I stand by own in which I state that I posted this list to get past the character limit and to help share a resource to a community I'm very active in. Spending even $1 towards hosting is more than anyone else ever does and the fact I go out of my way to list a LOT of viable alternatives highlights that too.
